In 2021 the federal government awarded the GKCP and Cheshire County a $300,000 grant, confirming what we’ve known all along - The Monadnock Region is a worthy investment.
We’re using this grant, along with an additional $300,000 from local donors, to develop a regional brand and subsequent marketing campaign to both increase resident retention and attract young workers, growing families, higher education students, and tourists to the area.
